While adding unit testing I noticed the stop() unit test wasn't working correctly because the element was hidden so I fixed it and added more unit tests around the new functionality. I also added a cursor:pointer to the css (because for a long time I didn't know they were clickable).
Plugins will be most interested in:
- jQuery.data(elem) -> Unique ID for the element
- jQuery.data(elem, name) -> Named data store for the element
- jQuery.data(elem, name, value) -> Saves a value to the named data store
- jQuery.removeData(elem) -> Remove the expando and the complete data store
- jQuery.removeData(elem, name) -> Removes just this one named data store
jQuery's .remove() and .empty() automatically clean up after themselves. Once an element leaves a DOM document their events are no longer intact. Thus, statements like so:
{{{
$("#foo").remove().appendTo("#bar");
}}}
should be written like so:
{{{
$("#foo").appendTo("#bar");
}}}
in order to avoid losing the bound events.
